WEDNESDAY, MAY 9

HISTORY - we did lessons 2 and 4 (3 is caligraphy, which i saved for Suzy). they got really into the discussion about silk and how expensive it is and how difficult it was to make. they liked the story. we learned about confucius and his teachings about how to treat people and be peaceful. they were disappointed that the story was not about the fighting of all the princes. i saved one project about confucius to do next week. there is a paper in their folders with one quote from confucius that i wrote - have them memorize this to present to the class. they also need to be able to discuss what the quote means, give an example, etc.

NEXT WED. - I will come over to Ranae's to teach history and science after their music party because i'll still have my appointment on thursday and that will work better for me, if it's ok with Ranae. lets do science lesson 6 - the coral reef - on our own. on thursday next week maybe Ranae can do a history lesson because we need to do 2 a week to finish and they really love doing that all together. let me know.

thanks you guys!
